Description
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) training provides a technical introduction to Ethernet and GigE. GigE builds on top of the Ethernet protocol, but increases speed tenfold over Fast Ethernet to 1000 Mbps, or 10 gigabit per second (Gbps) and beyond. Gigabit Ethernet allows Ethernet to scale from 10/100 Mbps at the desktop to 100 Mbps up the riser to 10 Gbps + (10GE) in the data center.

Upon completion of this course, the attendees will be able to:
-
Identify the concepts of Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networking.

I found it useful when the instructor found the time to learn about the situation in our company, so that he can relate this course to our requirements. The instructor also gave us very important documentation that will be helpful for later use. The instructor did an excellent job of getting the material across. He was very knowledgeable in the field. He made sure that you understood what he was talking about before moving on to the next subject area. He was also very open to questions and comments.
